This is a list of traditional Arabic place names. This list includes:

  • Places involved in the history of the Arab world and the Arabic names given to them.
  • Places whose official names include an Arabic form.
  • Places whose names originate from the Arabic language.

All names are in Standard Arabic and academically transliterated. Most of these names are used in modern times, but many of these Arabic forms are not in active use in their namesake places—indeed, modern Arabic names for the same places have often changed to reflect and respect the place's modern non-Arabic pronunciation.
